Community Supported Everything

Imagine inventing an educational space where you can share ideas, create classes and support the inter generational evolution of your community.

Community Supported Everything .

AN INCUBATOR FOR COMMUNITY TRANSFORMATION

Laura and Sam bring their impressive educations, enthusiasm, skills and commitment to life – in their work and in this interview where they help us all understand how you can take one idea and transform it into a hologram for community design. In this case they took the idea of Community Supported Agriculture {CSA} and applied it to everything offering the community memberships and access to the world where thoughts become things and dreams become realities.

Yes, we know, it sounds amazing and it is. Laura Scher and Sam Smith are the designers of this concept in Portland where they operate in partnership with CascadiaNow to do educational outreach and nurture community activism in our bio-region.

When asked about their modest title – Community Supported Everything – we all laughed because although it sounds impossible, it is working, they are helping folks create and offer classes, working with other small groups to create a community HUB where groups can rent small spaces and help create the synergy of larger ideas and actions.
